Big update on AEW faction after Adam Cole's heartbreaking announcement

One of AEW's most popular names, Adam Cole, shared a heartbreaking update regarding his wrestling career last weekend at All In : Texas. Now, the former multi-time champion's stable-mates, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, have delivered their mission statement as they consider moving forward without their long-time ally.

Last Saturday at All In 2025, Adam Cole was supposed to defend his TNT Title against Kyle Fletcher. However, it was revealed ahead of the pay-per-view that The Panama City Playboy had not been cleared for competition, and would thus relinquish his belt, which would be up for grabs in a fatal four-way match at the Globe Life Field. Cole made an appearance at the stadium show itself, and despite voicing uncertainty regarding his wrestling future, effusively thanked fans for their constant support.

Present alongside the former NXT Champion in Texas had been his long-time teammates, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, who looked visibly overwhelmed over their ally's announcement. Now, AEW's official X/Twitter profile has shared a backstage exclusive featuring The Violent Artist and The Messiah of the Backbreaker. The latter lamented Adam Cole getting sidelined after finally reuniting their old band alongside O'Reilly.

Kyle then reflected on the importance of making the best of the time one has on their hands, and voiced his resolve to not be stuck in limbo because his long-time teammate is dealing with health issues. With Strong's assurance that they were on the same page, O'Reilly vowed that The Paragon would continue to pursue their goals, and stated that everything that they do from this point on would be for Adam Cole.

Who did the TNT Title go to at AEW All In

Later on at All In : Texas, the TNT Championship was contested over between Kyle Fletcher, Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara and Dustin Rhodes. Although most viewers were expecting The Protostar to win the belt, it was The Natural who pulled off the shocking upset, obtaining his first singles title in AEW in the process.

It remains to be seen how long Rhodes' reign as TNT Champion will last. Currently the veteran also holds the ROH World Tag and World Six-Man Tag Team belts in Ring of Honor.
